WC SF: May 14 GDT - Russia vs. Canada

[Riddarn]

Canada can breeze through the last 40mins, rest the top guns, and play the winners of a hard fought late face off match between Czech n Sweden....

I know. There should be another days rest, really..

Looks like Brodeur has his cheerios this mornin

 

[Captain Leaf]

Let the diving begin

 

[Bob Clarke Fan Club]

Just keep this thing updated. I am at stupid work today!!

Hossy....Canada looks GOOD... balance and their forwards playing both ends are making up for any defensive shortcomings they may have on the big ice. I wonder if the guy that made the sarcastic 11-0 prediction is Psychic??

 

[FLYLine27*]

3-0 already? Russia forget to show up?

 

[StickShift]

How is Russia supposed to get back in this game when they take pathetic penalties like that?

 

[Slay]

lol, Hendrikson is not stopping amazing me

Totally. The two saves he made in the first minute got him off on the right foot. The Russians came out flying.

Or when they are given ridiculous penalties like that...

Thanks.
I was just about to post something on the baseball board, but you are all over this one my man!!

 

[Slay]

Russia had the puck and the referee wristle to give a penalty to Canada, o my.....

 

[Captain Leaf]

crappy call ...when a guy turns his back on you at the last moment ..too bad he should be fair game

 

[Slay]

Maaaan

 

[StickShift]

oh-oh... This is going to get the conspirators going.

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

Wow, numerous penelties have been called in this game.

 

[Captain Leaf]

Hey markov has been hanging around ribero and kovalev too long ..what a DIVE!!!!

 

[kolanos]

HAHA!! DIVING! I was waiting for a diving penalty. Seeing Russians drop like they've been shot all over the ice.

Morrow never once had a clear check on his shoulder or chest

 

[kolanos]

Finnish ref needs some lessons in logic.

You give Markov a diving penalty, then you penalize Maltby for roughing? Hmm...

 

[Rick Middleton]

Not tremendously impressed with the officiating. The ref is making correct calls, but chintzy calls for such an important game. Reminds me of the first 3-4 games of an NHL season when the refs get asked to call it strictly by the book. This type of officiating shouldn't happen at this point in time. Let them play a bit.

Maltby wasn't penalized.. thats why the Russians are pissed..lol

 

[roccol]

Absolutely the worst officiating I have ever seen for a game like this.

 

[Vicious]

That was a bad call... Maltby should have gotten a penalty for cross checking, imo.

 

[kolanos]

Maltby wasn't penalized.. thats why the Russians are pissed..lol

Thought I saw him in the penalty box... hmm.

Agreed...Morrow looked like he knew it too. Wasn't that bad an infraction but either were a couple of the Russians. I don't think the reffing has been that bad...Maybe the quick whistle on the penalty to Morrow...Didn't think Canada touched the puck after the boarding.
